| 1 | Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name give glory, for Your mercy
and
loving-kindness and for the sake of Your truth
and
faithfulness! |
| 2 | Why should the nations say, Where is now their God? |
| 3 | But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. |
| 4 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. |
| 5 | They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; |
| 6 | They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not; |
| 7 | They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither can they make a sound with their throats. |
| 8 | They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in
and
lean on them. |
| 9 | O Israel, trust
and
take refuge in the Lord! [Lean on, rely on, and be confident in Him!] He is their Help and their Shield. |
| 10 | O house of Aaron [the priesthood], trust in
and
lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield. |
| 11 | You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in
and
lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield. |
| 12 | The Lord has been mindful of us, He will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron [the priesthood], |
| 13 | He will bless those who reverently
and
worshipfully fear the Lord, both small and great. |
| 14 | May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. |
| 15 | May you be blessed of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth! |
| 16 | The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth has He given to the children of men. |
| 17 | The dead praise not the Lord, neither any who go down into silence. |
| 18 | But we will bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord from this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) |
